As a descendant of Slavic people I am glad to hear someone acknowledge that the word for slave literally comes from my people who were slaves. In some instances people (ottoman turksfrom what I understand) would raid the villages taking children as slaves as a "blood tax". People all over the world have experienced and contributed to slavery, what is important is that we stop it as quickly as possible and not waste time by pointing fingers at each other because YES slavery still exists today although it can look much different from the slavery of years passed.

23:52 “no matter the cost”, the cost which he hasn’t gone into was a cost so high it bankrupted the nation. The cost was so large that the debt britain went Into was paid off until 2015! Therefore any U.K. taxpayer before 2015 helped fund the abolition of slavery. And for people who know a bit more the only reason the British empire ended was because it was in so much debt because of many things but two of the largest debts britain built up in was the debt from WW2 to defeat fascism and the debt from the abolition of slavery. Britain sacrificed her empire for the freedom of Europe from facism in WW2 and for the freedom of slaves in the 1800s. Quite heroic for a history so heavily demonised for its wrongdoings, funny how people forget things like this

Agreed. Thankfully Boris called out the BBC for trying to ban Rule Britannia, which they are now playing. When you consider how much Britain did in leading the abolition of slavery, that hymn in itself represents the very values of this country. We do things, we reflect, we change what we see is wrong. It's the exact principle this country followed with regards to slavery; We were involved, we reflected, we realised it was wrong and against the very principles surrounding the empire (to liberate and promote freedom of the people), and we did the MOST to abolish it. We did the same in recent years with legalising gay marriage. So, I think it's shameful for any Brit to shit on their own country and try to suppress its traditions, culture and historical significance in establishing the world we know today.

Why is that? We know that slavery was eventually stopped by Britain. But before we stopped it we were second in the slave trade. So we can be proud of stopping the slave trade, but ashamed of our involvement in it before that. They are not mutually exclusive. The statue of Colston was torn down and that’s wrong. However there have been requests by the public to move the statue since at least the 70’s to the council. After waiting for 50 years some people took matters into their own hands. Colston himself was a conflicted man; he made his fortune by slavery but then spent much of that fortune on philanthropic endeavors. So on one hand we can be proud of what Colston did in his latter years, but not his younger years. Really, the failing is that the statue (or statue plaque) failed to detail the journey of the man himself. He did bad things, he saw the error of his ways and then sought to rectify this eventually. For that he should be commended.

Slavery itself isn’t what black people complain about. It’s the idea of white supremacy which was embedded by Europeans into culture by establishing laws that specifically targeted black people over centuries. They created laws that protected white people from slavery regardless of nationality. Slavery in Rome did not target only one ethnic group. Anyone could either be slave or Roman. Conquered nations become slave regardless of ethnicity or nationality. Black people could become Romans too. So the issue isn’t about slavery, it’s about the lingering impact of white supremacy in our institutions. It’s one thing to change laws, it’s another to change hearts and minds.

Yes bloody Elephants the mad lad. Imagine African war elephants in the snowy mountains with a massive army marching towards the modern Italian border. The Numidians at this point were on the Carthaginian side but later switched sides later in the war because they were Mercenaries, and Mercenaries care about gold not nation. They were independent, usually going with who paid them the most.

Very true, I think we should teach history in a balanced way. No point trying to hide the fact horrible things happened but we should own them and highlight the fact we are heading in the right direction. What worries me is this attitude of oh ‘I did not own slaves so this racism stuff has nothing to do with me’ - yeah right! Pretty much the Britain’s economy at the time was built on slavery but the same Britain took the decisive steps to end slavery along with many slaves themselves who caught for their own freedom in the Americas and West Indies. Those slaves never saw themselves as sub human or property to be owned.

This is why the cries of '400 years of slavery' by BLM makes so little sense here in England, first of all, it's inaccurate even for the American slave trade. But further than that, Slavery had been illegal in england for over 700 years by the time Columbus made his voyage to 'the new world'. And we paid our reparations for our involvement in the ancient slave trade, every british citizen paid in tax, for hundreds of years, to repay our involvement in that deplorable trade. We finally paid back that debt in 2015. This is a detail about the slave trade that is not taught, it's so well documented, but never taught. It should be, and we should indeed be proud of our nation and our ancestors for leading that charge. It could act as a galvanising force for britain, something to unite us all against the remnants of racism and discrimination. If we could end the slave trade, we can do basically anything.

@@stonedwalljack9276 Citation please. I found this: "Transatlantic slave trade, segment of the global slave trade that transported between 10 million and 12 million enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas from the 16th to the 19th century." And: "The slave trade was huge - British ships transported 2.6 million enslaved people. It has been estimated overall, about 12 million Africans were enslaved and taken to the Americas." Note that the 2.6 million refers to those slaves that survived the crossing. 3.1 million slaves were loaded into the ships. And this is just in a mere 200 years or so (1640 -1807) and is just the trade in slaves - it is not the actual number of slaves that were owned in the Americas which would have been far, far more. So when you say talk about slaves in India - I suspect you are talking about owned slaves rather than the trade in slaves, and spread out over more time?
